this application of arithmancy is not a calculation, rather just a tabulation. the numbers 11 and 22 don't exist when finding someone's special traits. those numbers would be simplified to 2 and 4 respectives.

for example

john stanley smith = 1685 +1215357 + 14928

the numbers occur in the following frequency

Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Frequency 4 2 1 1 2 1 1

Since the number 1 is the most commonly occuring number in the name, he has the special trait of initiative in his life. integration (2), vision (5), and goals (8) are all his special traits as well, but they are not as strong.
